Does anyone here use DuckDuckGo? - James Comey - 08-28-2016 05:48 PM
I find it useful when finding otherwise hidden/obscure links.

I think SoulRiser and Jop do.

I've had it as my default search engine for a couple years now.

Yeah but these days I !g half the time because DDG results are sometimes lacking in relevance for some reason. Seemed to be better before. I often check both.

I use Google mostly, but sometimes DuckDuckGo too. Both are good for different situations.

Anyway, don't rely on 1 single engine. It shouldn't be understated.

Especially if you're looking to do legitimate deep browsing too. Sometimes the most relevant results are hard to find; especially for obscure things.

I use DDG as my default for most searches. I often end up using G in Verbatim mode as well for when DDG blatantly ignores some important words I enter (happens too often for my liking). Although even G Verbatim has been leaving out things I enter lately too.
I need to make my own search engine that actually searches for exactly what people enter. Imagine that!

Well, more generic results can be useful if you don't remember something exactly etc. But those results shouldn't be at the top.
